This year's Sankranthi gift is the festival-like film "Bangarraju". Directed by Kalyan Krishna and starring Akkineni Nagarjuna and his son Naga Chaitanya in the sequel to last Sankranthi season's super hit "Soggade Chinni Nayana", the film was released today amid good buzz. And let's find out in the review how well any film received the audience's expectations.
Movie Story:
The story starts from where it ends in Soggade then comes into the story. Bangarraju (Nagarjuna) goes to heaven and enjoys there. Meanwhile, years later, his wife Satyamma (Ramya Krishna) also dies and goes to Bangarraju. Satyamma tells Bangarraju that they have a grandson Naga Chaitanya (Chinna Bangarraju) there. What did Bangaraju, who came from there this time, do for his grandson? Is there any lethal threat to Chin Bangarraju too? If you want to know how Bangaraju solves them, you have to watch this movie on the silver screen.
Plus points:
After watching this movie, it is clear what the film crew is saying from the beginning, how strong their confidence is. It has to be said that many aspects of the film remain as major highlights, in line with the expectations they have established. First of all for the performance of the cast
Naga should be said first for the Chaitanya role. It must be said that seeing Chaitu in such a naughty role till now made Chaitu superb. There is no doubt that he took a romantic mark on his family with Bangaraju. Chaitu gave a solid performance in emotional scenes including several comedy scenes and good romantic scenes and was the highlight of the film. As well as his looks but the newest body language but everything from him seems to give a good feast to the audience.
When it comes to King Nag, this time he gave his whole scope to Chaithu and acted well as the lead character. It has to be said that Bangaraju has provided more excitement in this movie with the same magic again. The scenes, especially the ones with Chaitu, however, feel like a good treat to the audience as a feast for the eyes. Apart from that Nag Charming looks is another big asset from his character.
Also, young heroine Kriti Shetty will be seen in another new role in the film. Once again after the surge the village girl impressed with a good screen presence in a more energetic role this time around. Also the chemistry that Chaituki sees on screen for himself is good. Also appearing in this movie even more beautifully in the funny angle is impressive.
Also appearing in the special song Faria made to bring more josh to the happy mood in the movie. Similarly, Vennela Kishore, Rao Ramesh and Ramya Krishna did justice to their performance within the scope of their roles.
It has to be said that there are more impressive elements in the film besides these. The entertaining story will definitely connect to the family audience during this festive time. Also good interval climax action block episodes are good. The audience is also captivated by the colorful visuals of the countryside and the emotions of the various key scenes in the film.
Minus points:
The first half does not seem so interesting after watching the whole movie. It feels interesting when the movie starts but then it feels so so. Yet this time the story does not seem so new and the emotional content also seems to be a bit less.
Also the movie has scope for more entertainment but it seems to have been sidelined by putting some songs unnecessarily. The length of the film does not seem to have increased a bit.
Technical Category:
It has to be said that the production values in this film are solid. Production values set by the makers to suit the film's backdrop are very good. Also, music director Anoop Rubens on the technical team is the biggest highlight of the film. Last time, Soggade gave his music to the movie, but this time he gave more than that. All the songs he gave, the background score versions were very neatly composed and highlighted. Also Yuvraj's cinematography is very good. The film manages to entertain as well as inform. As well as the dialogues, the visual effects in the film are also neat.
When it comes to director Kalyan Krishna, this time too he has succeeded in giving good entertainment. The way he planned the sequel in particular is impressive. The success of the film is due in large part to the way it is screened. However, it would have been better if the first half of the film was still well adapted. The movie would have come out even better if it had added a few more family emotions.
Final Verdict:
On the whole, this "golden king" is said to impress the festival. The screen presence of Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya in the film is all about the entertainment music and the performances of the other actors. Aside from the tasteless first half, everything else stands out as a good highlight in the film and is set correctly for the festive atmosphere. Overall though, Kalyan Krishna impresses the audience with this decent sequel.
